Tentative Programme of Affiliated Sessions As of 24 July 2021 Tentative Programme of Affiliated Sessions As of 24 July 2021 Overview The Pre-Summit event will serve as the preparatory meeting for the UN Food Systems Summit in September by consolidating all the substantive work of the Summit into a common vision and setting a tone of bold ambition and commitment to action. Given the richness of ideas coming through the Summit’s workstreams and self-organizing constituency groups over the past year, the main program sessions will serve to surface their key content and enable the exchange and engagement across all stakeholders. Affiliated sessions will serve a key complementary role in bringing out additional valuable ideas and offering a platform to convene actors around the world to ensure more voices and ideas are heard, and more actors are thinking about how to take action in their own contexts. Schedule The official Pre-Summit programme will run each day, and there are three time blocks for parallel affiliated sessions in the morning, mid-day, and evening to avoid any overlap with the main sessions. See the below programme that outlines days and time blocks. Venue Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, all affiliated sessions will be virtual in format. The Pre- Summit’s virtual platform will go live in the week before the event and will include a registration link for each affiliate session. Register at https://www.unfoodsystems.org to ensure you are notified of when the virtual platform becomes live, and you have the ability to register for a session/s.

  • Healthy Food for All How Do We Make Healthy Diets Accessible and O
    Healthy food for all How do we make healthy diets accessible and o. 39 N affordable for all? ssue I A framework for action 1 Executive Summary More than one-third of the world population is overweight or suffering from hunger,1 proving that our current food system is inefficient and needs urgent transformations. Unhealthy diets exact a high health cost, cause environmental destruction, increase the risk of pandemic outbreaks and lead to massive greenhouse gas emissions and global food insecurity. That is why a shift towards more resilient, healthy and climate-friendly food-systems is urgently needed. This is especially true for countries in the Global North,2 where diets rely excessively on animal-based proteins. Unfortunately, healthy diets are neither accessible nor affordable for more than half of the world population. Governments, the private sector, farmers and consumers must all take action in order to implement transformative and ambitious changes in the food system. A shift to more plant-rich diets and more sustainable agricultural practices is a crucial condition to achieving the SDGs and the Paris Agreement.3 This is only realistic if ample Disclaimer financial incentives from governments and the private sector also are in A United Nations Environment place to help farmers and food producers transition to resilient, healthier Programme (UNEP) publication and more climate-friendly practices. Furthermore, a greater emphasis on series that presents views from providing information and transparency to consumers, so they can make major groups and stakeholders of informed decisions, is crucial to allowing them to play their role in supporting civil society or about issues that are relevant for them.

INTRODUCTION Chain restaurants, fast-food establishments, catering companies, university canteens, and other large-scale institutions reach millions of consumers on a daily basis and thus offer an impactful opportunity to reduce animal-product consumption. Introducing animal-product alternatives within large-scale corporations or institutions can result in a significant decrease of animal- based products being used.
